	Beethoven - Complete String Quartets - These hard-driven, serious-minded accounts of the Beethovenstring quartetsare one of the ... more better bargains among modern performances. The emphasis here is very much on those qualities which characterise Beethoven's work from an early stage--the performances of the six op. 18Quartetsare hardly less vehement than that of the op. 133Great Fugue, which here finds its proper original place as the finale of op. 130. These are performances which give full emotional weight to slow movements like the Adagio/Andantethe "Invalid's Devout Song of Thanksgiving" of op. 132, as well as to virtuoso allegros like the flashy finale of the Third Razomovsky op. 59. Celebrated for their performances of contemporary and Czech music, the Medici Quartet demonstrate their mastery of the hard core of the string quartet repertory, matching the works' technical demands as well as their intensity and inwardness. --Roz Kaveney	£ 23.99	Postage & Packaging: free Super Saver Delivery Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours...

Beethoven's symphonies: the rediscovered frontier
Review of Beethoven Symphonies 1-9 (London Classical Players) - Sir Roger Norrington by

berlioz

Advantages: A new way to hear Beethoven
Disadvantages: Surpassed by some later period cycles

...depiction of a trio of birds, a village band and a thunderstorm. The Seventh brought a completely new emphasis on the use of rhythm, something that had never been heard of before at this scale, while the Eighth proved that little is sometimes more with its witty and humor-filled attitude completely off-setting the greater Seventh. And finally there came the Ninth Symphony that not only out-scaled the Eroica, but also introduced human voices in a symphony. The addition of a chorus and soloists in a profoundly instrumental work would be much explored by the Romantics that followed. In essence and deed, Beethoven was one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) influences in the way music evolved through the Classical era to the Romantic. And, of course, his influence also effected many other genres like piano sonatas, chamber music, concertos, etc... Read review

May I have this dance?
Review of Beethoven: Symphony No 7 by

berlioz

Advantages: One of Beethoven's finest symphonies.
Disadvantages: None from me, but some will say "classical music is boring".

...THE END OF AN ERA 1812 can be seen as the markerpoint where Beethoven's middle-period came to an end and his late-period was ushered in. Beethoven's middle-period saw the composer at his most creative high with one masterpiece following the other in rapid succession. The beginning of this period can roughly be timed as starting in 1803 with the appearance of the Third Symphony "Eroica" and the "Kreutzer" sonata. These two works signalled Beethoven distinctly leaving the 18th century Classicism of Haydn and Mozart behind him and taking on a completely new and individual voice. This individuality became more and more apparent in the works that followed: the "Waldstein" and "Appassionata" piano sonatas, the "Razumovski" quartets, the Violin Concerto, the three last cello sonatas, the "Archduke" piano trio, Fidelio, the Fifth and Sixth...

Raphael Ensemble's Rainbow of Emotions
Review of Schubert: String Quintet and Trio by

Freespirit

Advantages: Haunting, passionate music to get lost in.
Disadvantages: It's classical and this puts people off before they even try it.

.... Although Schubert left no indication of his inspiration for this piece it is known that he had around the time of composing it played the Viola in Beethoven’s string quartet No. 14 in C sharp minor, Op. 131 (1826) of which Wagner has commented, “a soul in distress”, followed by pleasant visions, a new yearning for life, beauty, gentleness, yearning, love, whims, humour, hilarity” and then “transition to resignation and painful renunciation” – one man’s reaction and sure proof of the music’s ability to evoke both strong emotion and powerful imagery.” This music sent Schubert “into such transports of delight and enthusiasm that all feared for him”. Beethoven had died the previous year (1827) and Schubert had not only visited him shortly before his death but was also a torchbearer at his funeral. I am no authority on music, I can... Read review
